The Girdle clasp by unknown artist is an object made of light gray stone. A bird-like figure is carved into the stone object. The object has a smooth surface and appears to be made of jade. It has a rounded shape with two small holes at the top and a curved protrusion on the bottom. The object is lying on a flat surface with a black background. A small piece of white material is visible on the bottom right. On the left side, some numbers are written.
